I find that New Balance athletic shoes fit my feet the best. This pair fits esceptionally well. There was only one issue with them. One shoelace was extemely longer than the other, so I had to go out buy new laces (hence the "4" rating.
Wears this shoe: When I'm out walking, which I do often, or just hanging out.

The shoe comes up too high-just at the bone and is very uncomfortable.

I have very long, narrow feet (10.5 AA) and I've always had difficulty in finding decent shoes that fit properly, especially ones for my gym workouts.Shoebuy.com offers a few different styles of New Balance narrow width shoes that always fit perfectly and they never need to be "broken in". And who can beat the low prices, fast shipping and great customer service of Shoebuy.com? I am definitely a 'repeat' customer.

The first reason I bought it it was because it was a vegan shoe. Also, the sole is thick enough not to feel the small stones when you run at the beach. I really like it.
Wears this shoe: when footing at the beach in the morning
